The first file, name contains the entire dataset for the buildings of Montreal. The remainig files contain the buildings sorted by admistrative boundary/district.

Data Sources

1. Montreal Property Assesment Units
2. Montreal 3D Buildings (LOD2 model with textures)
3. Montreal Aerial Lidar Dataset
4. NRCAN Building Footprints
5. Administrative boundaries of the agglomeration of Montréal (boroughs and related cities)

List of dataset changes

1. Removed redundant building footprint vertices
2. Removed duplicate buildings (condominium unit duplicates)
3. Append building's district - "ADMIN_BOUNDARY"
4. Append building centroid - "CENTROID"
5. Remove buildings with 9999 year of construction
